What the Weekend Looks Like

  • Welcome + Check-In

    Arrive, settle in, receive your retreat materials, and get comfortable.

    Paint While We Wait

    A creative experience inspired by the book While I Wait. It’s a chance to reflect on what you're waiting for, what you're building, and what you can still do in the meantime.

    Talk + Tea

    Good conversation. Warm tea. No pressure to perform or share anything you're not ready to share.

    Dinner + Time at the Table

    Good food and your first opportunity to get to know the women you're spending the weekend with.

    Saturday's purpose:

    Get here. Get settled. Get present.

  • Morning Reset

    Start the day with breakfast, reflection, and intention.

    Reflection + Clarity

    A guided session to step back from everything you're carrying and look honestly at where you are and where you're trying to go.

    Prayer Board Experience

    Bring what you're believing God for.

    Your children.
    Your business.
    Your finances.
    Your relationships.
    Your next move.

    Put it on the board.

    Then get back to work.

    Focus + Execution Session

    This is where we get practical.

    Look at what you're building. Identify what needs your attention. Clarify your priorities. Decide what needs to happen next.

    Because a goal without a plan is still just an idea.

    Guided Table Conversations

    Real conversations about real life.

    The decisions you're making.
    The challenges you're navigating.
    The ideas you're sitting on.
    The things you're building.

    No panels. No audience.

    Just women at the table.

    Evening Q&A with Somalia

    Bring your questions.

    Business.
    Leadership.
    Motherhood.
    Building.
    Faith.
    Life.

    Ask the question you've been carrying.

    Sunday's purpose:

    Get clear. Make decisions. Do the work.

  • Monday Brunch

    Good food. Good conversation. No rushing.

    Games + Grace

    A little laughter and a little fun before we close the weekend.

    Carry It Forward

    Take what you uncovered this weekend and identify what happens when you get home.

    What are you doing next?

    Closing Reflection

    Monday’s Purpose:

    Leave with something you can actually carry home.

    • You know there's more you're supposed to build.

    • You're carrying ideas, decisions, responsibilities, and questions, and you need intentional time to work through them.

    • You're ready to stop keeping everything in your head and start putting things into motion.

    • You don't need to have it all figured out.
      You just need to be willing to do the work.
